JARED WIHONGI Among the world’s foremost law enforcement instructors in edged weapons, Jared Wihongi makes no compromises in his training or his gear. With his experience, Jared is instrumental in the development of every Browning Black Label Tactical Blade we produce. Read more about Jared on page 348. ABOUT THE NEW JARED WIHONGI SIGNATURE LINE “My interest in the warrior way of life stems from my Maori heritage, once a Spartan-like society that developed over centuries of inter-tribal warfare in what is now New Zealand. The spirit of the Maori warrior is expressed in the ritual Haka, a war dance that’s intended among other things to challenge and intimidate an enemy.

Other conspicuous Maori symbols are stylized tattoos and carvings. These decorations are often added to their weapons to represent a warrior ancestor and thus you carry their strength and courage with you into battle. The Maori designs on the Wihongi Signature line of blades are intended to honor the warrior spirit that lives in each of us. I have grown up as a martial artist and a student of the Filipino fighting system Pekiti-Tirsia Kali, which specializes in both edged and impact weapons. For the last two decades I’ve been to almost every corner of the globe, teaching law enforcement, security and military about the function of knives as tools of combat and personal defense.

In that time I have learned there are many styles of tactical knives that can work well for the intent of their design. Thus the knives in my Signature Line are an expression of the form and function I prefer in a tactical knife.” — Jared Wihongi 12_Outdoor_Gear.indd 214 10/11/16 4:20 PM

Woolly Mammoths lived in Africa, Europe, Asia and North America for millions of years and became extinct near the end of the last Ice Age. In rare examples the animal’s tusks, teeth and bones were covered by sediments, protecting them from decay. Over millennia dissolved minerals replaced these animal tissues to become the fossils from which these unique handles are crafted. These magnificent knives are made in Italy, with the handles made in the USA. NEW 2017 A B C 224 HIGH GRADE KNIVES HIGH GRADE KNIVES 12_Outdoor_Gear.indd 224 10/11/16 4:22 PM
